Last week, we started in on a basic into to accessing your site's elements via the Developer Toolbar. This week, we will cover scripting with the Developer Toolbar, and all of its wonders. :) Don't worry, we're not going to actually write code, well, maybe one or two really simple lines of code.

If you're a beginner in the world of customizing SharePoint, you should get to know the developer toolbar. Even if you're only copying and pasting code from blog posts, knowing about, and using, the developer toolbar can save you a few cycles of banging your head on the keyboard.

Using Linq in SharePoint InfoPath Code Behind
I'm a huge fan of Linq (in C#, not the chat client Lync which I am also a fan of). It allows me to quickly query an array and manipulate my data SO much faster than loops and datasets. One of my favorite things to do is to grab an array of items, and create... Continue Reading →
SharePoint Browser Support… Improved with 2013, really?
I wrote a post a little while ago about Microsoft's boasts on supporting all browsers in SharePoint 2010. The fact is, SharePoint 2010 does not. What about SharePoint 2013?

SharePoint in Boston
As a resident of Massachusetts, and a SharePointer, I have discovered I can't easily find what's going on around town. I know to check Boston SharePoint User Group, SharePoint Saturday, and others, but there is no central place for all local SharePoint events.
